General purpose items is better we can’t carry all kinds of stuff. Best of there is more than one use to touring gear

Brilliant tip to keep the utility key👍. I would recommend running the tap for a minute before filling your bottle. Thanks for another great video.

im overdue for a "hobo hacks" video, so i can show some more of these tips like the key & other things!

Just stumbled on your channel randomly. I am Dutch and it's definitely fun to get a fresh perspective on the country! Been taking those Amsterdam ferries in your first video to my work for a while. Hope you have a good trip and curious to see where you will take us :)

Thanks for the comment! It’s cool to see a similar but different way of life for us, Coming from New Zealand there are many similarities. Enjoying the flat easy riding!

What a great place to trip, flat land, bikes everywhere. Your meals look pretty tasty.

It is great riding in the Netherlands! Also making good food is priority. Having enough calories to ride and navigate plus keep spirits high super important!

Andy once again thanks so much for the excellent video and taking the time to share with everyone. Look forward to the next video as always. 😁👍✌️

Ohh No, never fill your water like that, turning the tap on with your bottle under the nozzle means you get any crap, bugs, dirty water that settled in the nozzle, straight in your drinking water. Flush it briefly to allow the clean none stagnant water to flow and then put your bottle under..

In my country tap water is good to drink, maybe not here? Most ppl seem to drink bottled water

The Netherlands has some of the best water in the world. No need to be scared. Everyone drinks it. Just let it flow for a sec if it hasn't been used in a while. Stagnant water is never good even in pipes.

I think Deeno means bugs, spiders, etc that may have climbed up the tap nozzle just before you fill your water bottle.

Olive oil is great, it is not to thick so it will probably clean out dirt more than anything. However it does not lubricate very well long term.

Great stealth camping shots! I think I notice a wary look around on emerging from the tent. :) I'd be interested to know if the olive oil oxidizes and goes sticky. A devil to clean off if it does - but it might not...

It’s not the right stuff, but if you don’t have anything else it’s better than nothing!

Olive oil isn't bad, now greasy steak drippings from the frying pan is another thing all together; it's a long story.

That canine who circling your tent, that might have a wolf. Wolves have been spotted in the last 2 years. So far no attacks on humans.

Wow that would be neat! I read about the wolves coming back, there is great habitat for them and many other animals to support the food chain. We saw foxes and plenty of deer in the wilderness

As you are from New Zealand. Are you traveling to Zeeland as well on this journey? The provence your beautiful country is named after? Keep on posting the great content!

Chain oil needs to perform under high pressure of chain part. That is why most normal oils, like WD-40, are not suited for chain oil.

Just for your knowledge, since a few years the wolves are back in the eastern half of the Netherlands. They are probably not dangerous to people, but I think you should be aware if you go wild camping.

Those are fern growing from a huge pile of sawdust that was dumped by farmer, I don’t think there is any damage caused by us on our adventure. If you want to see real nature and established podocarp rainforest come to nz. Dutch nature is beautiful but mostly everything is man made kind of like a zoo🌴🚲⛺️👍

Using olive oil on chains (or vice versa) is bad....Popeye won't like it.
